There is so much delicious escapism in K.A. Tucker's One Tiny Lie you may well fake a stomach virus so you can hide out to luxuriate in its angst-ridden love fantasy, a kind of Twilight goes to Princeton. The plot will be trumped by the desire to get to the red-hot love scenes between tightly wound good girl Livie and sexy bad boy Ashton.
Livie, introduced to readers in Tucker's Ten Tiny Breaths, is all grown up now and on the fast track to becoming a doctor and marrying a nice boy, both of which she believes would have made her deceased parents proud. Her circle of friends includes a party-girl roommate, a wild older sister and a nutty psychiatrist named Staynor (who, although he's a hoot, would have his medical license revoked in real life). But her whole world is turned upside down when she meets the mysterious and irresistible Ashton--especially since she's already dating his best friend. Although Livvie and Ashton's interactions are thick with building sexual tension, the rogue keeps warning her to stay away from him and his secretive past.
Of course, she can't--and in this impassioned romp full of detailed descriptions of buff Princeton crew members, readers won't be able to stay away, either. One Tiny Lie is a read to be soaked in and savored, sure to keep any woman warm on a cold winter's night. --Natalie Papailiou, author of blog MILF: Mother I'd Like to Friend
